How Do I Disable OEM RAID 0 and Use a Single NVME SSD + HDD Combo for Predator G9 593?

Hi, My laptop came with two crappy LITEON 128 GB SATA m.2 SSDs in RAID 0. I would like to disable the raid and use a single PNY XLR8 3030 NVME m.2 as my boot drive. How do I do that?
I tried to see what, if any, error I get from using only one of those m.2 drives. The power and keyboard lights were on but the screen was always black for a long time as if the laptop was stuck in a boot loop.
I'm afraid if this happens to the PNY drive after I buy it, it would only be a paperweight.

See what options are available in the BIOS.

It's one of those old school looking crappy BIOS that doesn't have that many options. Certainly not disabling RAID. Like I said, It's OEM RAID.

The laptops I've seen with RAID still had controls for that in the BIOS. If yours don't then there's probably nothing you can do to run non-RAID.

 

It's pretty much normal you wouldn't boot if you remove one drive of a RAID0, but you should still be able to access the BIOS.
